Sun 6800 shutdown

[maunir]

Has anyone seen this error when rebooting a domain.

"message overflow on /dev/log minor #5 -- is syslogd(1M) running?"

Now to give an overview of how this error shows up. I log in to reboot the domain and do a simple init 6 and it start shutting down all the process but it hangs after it kills the VEA Server. After like 10 minutes I get this message on my console and that's it, it just sits there until i have to do a setkeyswitch off. Found nothing on the web and wanted to know if anyone has every seen this. Is some of kind process looking for syslogd to be running so that it could shut itself down?


Thanks

Any NFS mounted filesystems?

Is this Citrix?

Also run a .post from the obp (i.e., ok prompt).

Sorry forgot to mention this was Solaris 9 and yes there are NFS mounted FS. I'll try to run .post from the ok prompt. Luckily I'm taking the box down to an ok prompt today.

there is no .post on obp.

check your dfstab and make sure you are sharing correctly (ro and anon=0).
